That's nutmeg drying under the sun at the nutmeg business, Ghee Hup Enterprise, located on the somewhat remote western part of Penang Island.
The owner of the nutmeg business passionately explains what there is to know about the features and qualities of this sweet-tangy flavoured spice.
He doesn't speak English so it might a good idea to have someone who can speak Mandarin or Hokkien to do the translating for you.
Later, if nutmeg is among one of your favourite spices, you'll love the variety of nutmeg products available for purchase.
